Will Philippines host Miss Universe 2017?
During the ABS-CBN interview with
Department of Tourism Secretary Wanda Teo, it was reported that Miss
Universe Organization has approached them about hosting the pageant
again this year in November.
According to Teo, the organizers were
happy with the event that was held in Philippines in January, when Miss
Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach crowned France’s Iris Mittenaere. The
pageant, she said, even overshadowed the pre-events of the recent Super
Bowl, which is one of the biggest sporting events in the US.
It is indeed true the 65th Miss Universe
pageant was a huge success. From the press conference to pre-pageant
activities held in various locations around the country, such as Vigan,
Cebu, Baguio, and Davao, among others to the support of the fans from
across the world and the inclusion of locals in the pageant activities,
the Miss Universe contest in Philippines was one of the best edition in
its history.
While it will take some time to formally
announce whether to host Miss Universe pageant in November or not, Teo
mentioned in the interview that if they did host the pageant, they want a
larger control over the event and look for sponsors for expenses.
This will be the fourth time if
Philippines host the pageant. Philippines hosted the Miss Universe
pageant first in 1974, then in 1994, and then earlier this year 2017.
While there are rumors about France and
Australia being interested in hosting the same pageant this year, this
latest news is indeed a good news for pageant fans.
